The eagerly awaited 5-door Mahindra Thar SUV is making its worldwide debut on August 15, 2024. After extensive testing, we’ve gained valuables insights into its design and features. This new model will have distinct design touches to set it apart from its 3-door sibling. It’s also getting more practical with an extended length of 300mm, offering extra cabin room and bigger boot.
The 5-door Mahindra Thar is gearing up to offer even more than its 3-door counterpart. One notable upgrade is the redesigned dashboard, now featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This advanced system is likely to support the latest Adrenox software and provide over-the-air (OTA) updates. Additionally, higher-end models will boast an exclusive 10.25-inch digital driver display, while lower trims may sport a larger central multi-information display (MID).

In the 7-seater version, you’ll find two individuals seats for rear passengers and a bench seat in the middle row. Recent sightings of test mules suggest advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), with a camera spotted behind the IRVM. Safety features are likely to include six airbags and an advanced safety kit.
Engine choices will remain unchanged from the 3-door version, with options including the 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.2-litre diesel motors, available with both manual and automatic transmission.
